As we have learned from Utada's Pheonix interview, she is currently on a Promotional Tour. On the 16th she was in Dallas and Pheonix.
Currently she is in California, and will be on e107.9 The End, a Sacramento radio station, on Weds the 18th in the morning.
They are refering her to as the "Japanese Madonna" - perhaps they heard the Pheonix interview, where Madonna was mentioned while talking about the use of the 'brand name' Utada.
(credit goes to sumiko216 of U-O)

Next, she will be up in San Francisco

UPDATE: [2004/09/06]
Well from the new update to www.Utada.jp, with the new Exodus layout, in the new UTADA section, it lists the USA radio tour as follows:

Apparently her tour was Aug. 15-20, and she went to
Dallas, Pheonix, Sacremento (which we know of already)
but also to LA, San Francisco, Portland, and Seattle!

We wonder if these other radio appearances were broadcasted... or maybe just shelved... if saved for a later date, every one in these cites keep your ears peeled for Utada!

The look and layout of www.Utada.jp has been changed.
It has been redone with a nice purple look and using the cover image from the Exodus album.
This revamp is undoubtedly done for the launch of Exodus in Japan.

It can be predicted that www.Utada.com will follow soon with a similar layout change.

UTADA: FRESH NEW SOUND FOR THE FALL
Exciting singer/songwriter releases US debut EXODUS on Island Records Oct. 5

July 6, 2004--21-year-old singer/songwriter Utada will offer a fresh new sound for music fans this Fall when her US debut album, EXODUS, is released Oct. 5 on Island. An enigmatic fusion of alternative, pop, dance and funk grooves, EXODUS features witty lyrics and well-crafted melodies. The first remix single on the album is "Devil Inside," an hypnotic dance track laced with electronic Asian-flavored beats that is sure to be a club favorite. Another winning track is the sunny pop melody "Easy Breezy," which will be the first radio single off the album.
Utada is also joined on her debut album by some outstanding special guests such as drummer Jon Theodore from Mars Volta, who delivers an infectious groove on "Kremlin Dusk," and master producer Timbaland who adds his funky touch to "Exodus '04," "Wonder 'Bout" and "Let Me Give You My Love." Here's what they had to say about recording with Utada:

"She's above the typical trappings of pop music because her voice is beautiful and she writes her own music. She has discerning taste that sort of transcends the genre. It's not really classifiable."
--Jon Theodore of Mars Volta
"We did some great work together-Exodus is such a fabulous song and Utada is the best!"
--Timbaland

FINALLY A release date!!! Mark your calendars guys~ Utada's coming October 5th!!

Japanese Press Release

Huge news!!

Island Records has released a press release for UTADA. It states that Utada's debut Album is titled, EXODUS, and is confirmed, once again, to be out Fall 2004.

Other song titles mentioned are:
"Kremlin Dusk" with drummer Jon Theodore from Mars Volta
"Exodus '04", "Wonder 'Bout", and "Let Me Give You My Love" produced with Timbaland

It is also stated that the "young star composes, writes and arranges all her songs, infusing her music with seductive, witty lyrics and well-crafted melodies."

Well, we already knew that she composes, writes, and arranges all her songs but their description tells us that her US material will definately not be anything like her Japanese material.
